Summary

This quote suggests that while the separation of church and state is essential for a strong society, it does not mean there should be a separation between religious beliefs and individuals in positions of power. The conscience or moral compass of the nation does not demand a complete disconnection between people in positions of authority and their faith in a higher power. In other words, religious beliefs can coexist with individuals holding positions in the government, as long as the principles of the separation of church and state are upheld.
